The Sunglasses Style That's Right For You, According to Your Zodiac Sign
Let’s keep it real for a second: It’s so hot outside, and with the summer heat comes strong rays from the sun. Apart from using sunscreen every day, one of the best things we can do to protect ourselves from the sun is wear sunglasses. They're a practical way to shield your eyes from the sun, of course, but they're also trendy pieces that can give your outfit an extra boost. We love all types of sunglasses, from trendy hexagon ones to classic cat-eye silhouettes, but with so many options out there, it can sometimes be hard to decide which style you actually want to buy. In those cases, we like to turn to the stars.
According to astrologer Lisa Stardust, each of the 12 zodiac signs leans towards a certain style because it either brings them luck or helps them express their nature. To help you find the best sunglasses style to rock, we worked with Stardust to reveal which shades work best with each sign.
